Gotta love the Jackboots and the way they always tell you to use Google, eh? Yeah, I been browsing for alt shells too. Just installed Talisman on Windows 7 64 bit, and it seems to work like it's supposed to. BUt I uninstalled it because it doesn't live up to my expectations. Litestep community is currently working on getting their shell compatible with 7, but no clue about 64 bit atm. I run Litestep on my XP 32 bit machine, and it is not only the shell I prefer, but also the one I would suggest using. There are a few other shells out there, but none that really catch my eye as far as usability, or cosmetic beauty. If you would just like to make your windows look better, I was running Windowblinds on my Vista 64 bit OS until I replaced the system with 7. Currently their is no compatible version of Windowblinds that operates with 7, however.
